Find the shrine or a spot to pray in the temple. They are usually next to an offering box and a bell with a rope hanging from it.
Ring the bell once or twice by pulling the rope side to side.
Throw some yen into the offering box. Any amount is OK, but avoid giving anything that totals four or nine as they are unlucky numbers in Japanese culture.
Clap your hands together twice in praying form.
Place your palms together at chest-level and tilt your head down with your eyes closed.
Finally, pray.
